The further and continuing adventures of the girl who sat in the back of your homeroom, reading and daydreaming.

Riddle This

The Dems tell us the "rich" are payin' almost no tax at all with Republicans in charge* and then they tell us John McCain will give huge tax breaks to those same rich people. How's that work?

Why don't medications ever have amusing side effects? It's always "Serious side effects may occur..." Never, "You'll turn bright orange with green spots for three days and talk like you're on helium, but it's harmless." I guess it works like politics: the choice is always between "not real good" and "worse."

Tam, fuming over the ill-informed and over-enthusiastic: "It's like walking into the neighborhood garage and exclaiming in delight over the 'stylin', well-engineered Yugo' you just saw." Ow.

* Except last I looked, the GOP was in the minority in the House and Senate. You'd think the Democrats would have ushered in an era of peace, prosperity and Two Chickens In Every Garage by now. They must be doggin' it. Either that or they've confused the US with Imperial Rome again.

Actually, that sort of thing (the dreams AND the glow-in-the-dark excreta)is always frightening, it's only amusing to the outsider. What amuses me, personally, would peel the skin off your skull, and you don't want to get that far into my head, trust me.

Viagra started out as a blood pressure med, and I'd say that it has a pretty fun side effect. Well, more front than side (puerile snicker...) My fave though are nicotine patches. Try putting one on and going to sleep some night. The dreams are amazing! It's like the way LSD or opium is depicted in the movies.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."
